so has this mod been canned then?

what happened this isnt up on filefront anymore

Those planets look great!

whats the big deal with changing ship names tho?[quote who="Major Stress" reply="14" id="1900557"] Quoting mezlabor, reply 13thign with soa 2 is that 2 races look back to the same string file for names. So if you were to list in the advent file uss enterprise you could wind up looking at an ensalver named enterprise because the feds and dominion share the advent string file and tek tree the cardies and romulans share the tec and the breen and romulan share the vasari That is true fo

Well the Romans may have Said live and let live but they certainly werent letting any of the places they conquered to live and let live. They were moer imperialistic then we are (by we I mean the US) But yes America will decline. Military equaled the superpower last millenia this millenia econimic power will trump military power. Furthermore if you dont have a strong economy you cant fund a strong Military. We've already begun our decline in so many ways. Healthcare, Ed

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="4" id="1900355"]Woah. Well, after Stress quits after Demo 3, you can take over for SoA 2 for Sins. He's basically saying "To Hell With It! Community, have fun!". So basically DANMAN will take the ST stuff for 7DS and make everything horribly uncanon yet still fun, and you can continue with SoA 2.[/quote] If I thouht I could and if Major Stress wouldnt mind I would. But i dunno that much about modding. In the end Ill probably edit i

the thought bothers me alot. Sins BSG and Starwars rely heavily on fighters which are really rare in Star Trek. Star wars ship designs are dull. The empires flying triangles and the rebel alliances giant space dildos. At least the Borg have an excuse for uninspiring deisgns based off simple shapes. I like soa 2 because its a star trek mod and theres no good star trek startegy games. Your talking to someone who edited the string file for soa 2 to be all trek references. Class m planets, dilith

wouldnt that also mean they are mixed up with the other non trek races in 7ds?

I wasnt asking major stress I was asking if danman would release a combo mod of solar sins and soa2 if he released a borg addon. If you don want solar sins then you still can get demo 0.003 which wont have it.

Sparda Danman thats good news real good news. Danman If you do add the borg would you also think about adding the solar sins planets?

well heres the problem with tying them to tech levels. Cap ships cant be tied to tech levels and if you stick them in the cruiser slot then theres no cap ship crew limiting how many you can have.

anywhere it doesnt matter. You just open the file and browse the folders the only one that needs to be in a specified spot is particle editor the rest can be launched from anywhere

Yea and I understand those problems with the rommies really well. And I can see the big problems with the borg besides adding in teks that cant be added in right now they could either be horribly op as a player race and as an npc race they could utterly destroy a match with one appearance. I think you made the right call leaving them out. Im really wexcited to see the final version and to see what youve done with the non canon ships. I just dread having to put back in the sins

Yep I necroed it obviously its dead but I was hoping someone could tellm e what happened or at least get the demo that uzii had seen before this was abonded.

[quote who="Major Stress" reply="16" id="1899352"]We really dont know that yet. I would like to see it finished, but with the hardcode restrictions it will prove very difficult to pull off. Why is why i am stopping work after 0.03 until i get some answers. Can you answer these questions? Can you live without cloaking? Can you live with no ship movement during combat? Can you live with weapons firing though their own hulls, or awkward positions?<br /

It is tough to balance the ships with nothing but canon units. Ive spent alot of time digging through the entity files of the demo releases and come up with the very same problem Major Stress has mentioned here. The thing is the Feds have such a vareity of ships to choose from you can easily spread out ship roles and costs and damages for the feds. This isnt true for any race save perhaps the klingons who have the next best ship selection. If you try and balance say a combat frigate f

[quote who="Spartan" reply="6" id="1899998"]We added a new coder and a new helper; currently they are taking stock on the situation. If anyone else wants to get involved now is the best time. Regarding the demo question, if all goes well and the coder can rock and roll maybe by the end of the month if not sooner.[/quote] Awesome Id volunteer to help but I fear I wouldnt be very useful my knowledge of modding sins ends with editing entity files and string files.

Major Stress I am sorry to hear this but I want to thank you for what you have already released. I took the demo releases and put together a mod that my friends and i have been having a great time with and I could never have done it from the ground up. We've been playing a modifeid version of the demo release since it first hit and enjoyed it alot. Thanks for everything youve done. I wish I could help you with the actual SoA 2 but I am not a coder and really just know how to edit entity files

any ideas when we can expect a demo?

[quote who="Happy_the_Hobo" reply="2" id="1899697"] Limited number of ship slots... This is madness! Or are you imply you only want to have two shipyards, so that would be the limitation, because with more shipyards you can have more ships, and more ships you can have more awesomeness. [/quote] too bad what you woudl like doesnt matter. ship slots are hardcoded into the game. A modder cant change the amount of slots at a shipyard. Theres 5 cap ships Hardcoded next pat

whatever happend to this? I was really looking forward to it.

The sins plus planets aren't showing up on the zoomed out grid. They show up zoomed in but zoomed out to the phase lane grid their spaces are blank. Gonna have to figure this one out. What files are those? *edit* Solved this one too

yep after that I had to edit the string info which took awhile as well but its all in and working now to adust the new ships to reflect the balance my friends and I made with the original version and this new version will be ready. And if your Reading Thank you Major Stress and Thank you Uzi all i can do is combine your work!
